en rapport
Mutually understanding each
En rapport describes a state of harmonious connection or mutual understanding between people.
Two people en rapport are on the same wavelength, communicating easily and sympathetically.
The phrase comes from French and appears most often in contexts involving therapists and clients, interviewers and subjects, or any relationship where trust and attunement matter: The counselor quickly established herself en rapport with the grieving family.
